Today I was in the presence of someone famous and I don’t know who he is. It’s almost like working out in the same gym as 50 cent before he was famous (who, by the way, hogged all the dumbells. After becoming aware of who Fitty is, I’m glad I never said anything about that to him.) But this guy I was with today has been known for a long time. Apparently he is a pretty famous soccer coach. Soccer’s the world’s most famous sport and if you ask me to name a player I can go two deep. 1.Victoria Beckham and 2. Ronaldino or something like that. I wish I knew more because I probably could have gotten his autograph. Anyway, I met this soccer coach at a school where I was invited to share about what a Hero is? It was pretty cool. Two former Canadian Football League players were there as well, one of whom goes to our church. It was exciting to be around these sports guys, I was about to say that I was John Stockton or Mark Price, former NBA player, just so I’d fit in. It was a fun time all around, the kids had a lot of energy which is always great. I like soccer.

In other news, I almost bought a book today called Fighting Tyson which records what it was like to step in the ring with Iron Mike. The writer interviews many fighters who did that and then writes about it. It seemed like it would be interesting. Iron Mike is an entertaining character known for craziness. I, personally, would like to see him on the next season of Surreal Life. Him, Ron Ron, John Rocker, and The Ultimate Warrior all together under one roof.

Well, that’s all for now Canada. And to my Americans, there were three of us here this past weekend. Ashlee-Heather was outnumbered. Holla…..Holla back. My appologies to J.R. Turtillian but we ran out of time.
